  1. Thanks for posting, MusicalCoffee. I'm a new nurse in orientation myself, and first thought that being more emotionally sensitive is a weakness. In actuality, it can be a great strength if you know...
  2. Mental Health Nursing

    Hi, everyone! Like TerryNeal, I'm also a new grad and have just gotten a psych nurse job. My orientation starts next week (Nov. 5), and I'm both excited and apprehensive. Mental health is something...
  3. Maybe taking a refresher course would be helfpul. I know they exist for RNs, and probably do for LPNs as well. I think it's been a while since you posted this thread, but maybe this idea helps. Novo's...
  4. For those who passed

    I agree with you, JENURSE03. This is a great site, and although I passed my boards last month, I like to come on the student and NCLEX section of the site to provide advice and support for students. I...
  5. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    I'm a recent nursing grad myself, and from my experience, the majority of employers like to have BSN prepared nurses. I may not have much experience myself, but I sincerely believe that pursuing a BSN...

  9. Depression After Graduation...

    I just graduated from nursing school earlier this month. I found myself experiencing similar emotions, especially right after graduation. As I have not yet taken NCLEX, preparing for it is one of the...
  10. Has anyone ever done this?

    Cleaning the probe and learning from mistakes is the best way to go here. The human body is designed to fend off a multitude of infections. I've made the same mistake, and felt absolutely ridiculous...
  11. Fundamentals!!

    Yes, it seems overwhelming at first simply because of the amount of content. But it really is not difficult - it's very logical and common sense. I don't know how your textbook is organized, but mine...
  12. Fantastic! We wish you the best of luck! I second Unicorn's question about your previous experience. Will the hospitals hire you with "license pending" before you take NCLEX? The employers in my area...
  13. losing hope in nursing school

    A BSN is definitely benificial, as many employers (at least in IL) either require or give preferance to RNs with this degree. ALthough I now way look down on Associate's prepared nurses - once you've...
